[polmaven]

21. Well,

[buycitgo]

11. MILLIONS MORE students are getting Pell Grants?

how can that be true?

this speech sounds almost exactly the same as he gave to the Urban League.

he's pausing for applause after certain lines, but NOBODY has clapped yet.

anybody know about Pell Grants?

[buycitgo]

18. Pell Grants

Bush Freezes Federal College Scholarship, or Pell Grant

Just as college tuition is rising and the buying power of grants continues to erode, President Bush has frozen the maximum Pell Grant at $4,050 in his FY 2005 education budget. This is the 3rd year in a row that Bush has frozen or cut the maximum Pell Grant.

Despite Bush’s protests that restoring the buying power of the Pell Grant won’t stop rising college costs, he continues to ignore the tuition problem. Not only has he failed to address rising college tuition, but his budget makes college even more expensive by freezing or cutting student aid and taxing students.

Bush Breaks his Promise to Increase Maximum Pell Grant to $5,100
While campaigning in 2000, President Bush, pledged to make college more affordable and accessible by increasing the maximum Pell Grant for college freshman to $5,100.

Not only has President Bush broken his promise to increase the maximum Pell award to $5,100, but he’s actually frozen or cut the maximum Pell grant for the past three years.

[sadiesworld]

7. The silence is deafening.

[wellstone dem]

10. lol was thinking the same thing

I suppose it could be that they are all rapt at his words.

[wellstone dem]

8. The silence in the audience is deafening

Saturday Night Live has ruined listening to Bush, I keep thinking it's a parody.

I think I saw a woman falling asleep in the background crowd shot.

[Safi]

9. Tough crowd...

That crowd is owning his ass with their silence.

-Safi

[wellstone dem]

12. The silence seems to be upsetting him

He's so used to speaking to ticketed only events.

[Emboldened Chimp]

13. Is this a replay of the UNITY speech?

[Emboldened Chimp]

14. What a fucking liar!

More homeownership? Is he effin nuts? Foreclosures are UP!

[cthrumatrix]

17. rates at 45 yr lows....watch what happens when rates go up...poof

[monarch]

He sounds like he's talking to preschoolers.

[wellstone dem]

[polmaven]

50. 2 1/2 minutes!!!

That's all I could do!!!

I am in awe of those of you who are actually able to sit and watch that drivel. You certainly have stronger nerves and stomachs than do I. Your constitutions are remarkable! Hats off to you.

[buycitgo]

88. hey!!! you're REALLY missing out

idiot savonarola at work

[Amaya]

20. Oh....MY.... God....

[liveoaktx]

22. I saw some lady dozing off a few minutes ago

[vivalarev]

23. I am now thoroughly convinced...

he is losing his mind! and i think he forgot to take his meds today

[wellstone dem]

24. what was that line about

walking into the oval office and telling him he doesn't look so good are diverse.

It got a little laughter but I didn't get it.

Notice they've stopped showing the crowd.

[underpants]

25. Watching on older link-"The soft bigotry of low expectations"

Yes he is still saying that.

[liveoaktx]

34. Didn't he also say once that he was the master of low expectations?

[liveoaktx]

26. He has the NERVE to talk about his court nominees to a MINORITIES CONF?

DUHHHHHHHHHH

[buycitgo]

29. lots of applause for that and tort reform, wasn't there?

[Emboldened Chimp]

[Stephanie]

121. there were pictures

I think I saved some - Bush LOVES the gruesome and the violent.

[wellstone dem]

33. next applause

was at removing heckler and then a smattering of applause at anti-terrorist talk. Now more about hundting down terrorist but they show the crowd, most not clapping.

[liveoaktx]

36. I was wondering that, too, WHERE was the applause coming from?

Was there a sound machine in the back of the room?

[frylock]

38. but who was applauding?

they were showing the crowd during the appluase, and it looked like they were all sitting on their hands.

[buycitgo]

39. you know marvin

[Emboldened Chimp]

[derby378]

44. War on Terror: RIP?

Bush wants to rename it "The Struggle Against Ideological Extremists Who Do Not Believe in Free Societies Who Happen To Use Terror as a Weapon to Shape the Conscience of the Free World."

Only problem is that once you reach "Use Terror as a Weapon," you've already forgotten the first half.

[Amaya]

Perfect.

"The Struggle Against Ideological Extremists Who Do Not Believe in Free Societies Who Happen To Use Terror as a Weapon to Shape the Conscience of the Free World."

[buycitgo]

54. he didn't say that yet, did he?

I musta missed it

DAMN

68. that was MARVELOUSLY BAD!

who remembers Woody Allen in Bananas, when he comes to the US.....

he speaks at the dinner about his country, San Marcos, and NOBODY MOVES

NOBODY REACTS to ANYTHING he says

blank stares, nothing but blank stares

he said stuff like:

''the chief export of San Marcos is.....LOCUSTS!''

that's what this audience reminds me of

somebody out to cross cut that scene with this

this is great

[NJCher]

69. hooboy, what a laugh this is

The faces in the audience! If I ever saw doubt, this is it. So now they've switched to showing the backs of their heads! Oh, too funny.

Why do I find myself laughing at these lines:

"He took his new hand and wrote "God Bless America" with a Sharpie."


Cher

[buycitgo]

75. BANANAS

[buycitgo]

102. how happy is he that this fiasco is on a FRIDAY

he always takes his biggest dumps on news dump FRIDAYS

[sadiesworld]

91. Does someone need to explain to him what a "right" is?

Seems to be a pretty basic misconception he has there.

[dmr]

94. LOL, well, there's no guarantee

you'll use a right, so you don't need any.

Is that what he meant?

:crazy:

Martin is kick ass, I liked him.

[vivalarev]

96. Would a payroll tax cut....

really eat into the "solvency of social security"? does anyone know this for sure?

[buycitgo]

98. He just SAID the WOT thing

"terra ists will cut off a person's head JUST LIKE THAT,"

then cuts off Ray Suarez, just like that

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

93. this is what happens when

the cameras and audience aren't controlled by karl rove. this is the

reality that's been covered up for 3 1/2 years.

[liveoaktx]

95. Huh?? Payrol Tax cuts versus his tax cuts- to save Social Security?

[liveoaktx]

111. Bush did not understand what Roland Martin was doing to him.

Martin would have made a great trial lawyer. Very subtle.

[Langis]

116. Is it just me or did Roland Martin

Bitch slap Bush all over the place?

[DemoTex]

119. Bu$h got bitch-slapped several times ...

And didn't even know it. But almost everyone else in the room knew.

[NJCher]

117. FLIP FLOPPER!!

Did you see him march out to the right, only to realize he was headed the wrong way? LOLOL!

so he had to turn around and march the other way. Oh man, that was priceless. What a great bit that would be on a campaign ad about his flip flops. "Wrong-Way Bush."


Cher

[Sabriel]

118. Anyone have a transcript link yet?

I'd love to see it in print.

[Tracer]

120. Crap!

I just ran to turn on the TV and on my C-SPAN channel it was OVER! They must have started it at 3:00.

Damn! I hope it's repeated later.

[zuzu98]

123. Did you hear the woman at the end?

When he's going through the line shaking hands and he asks some woman "How's things in Orlando?" She says, "You're in trouble."

[wrate]

124. Did * criticize his father in the Unity Speech?

There is a part in the Unity speech where * is asked how long American Forces will remain in Iraq. He starts babbling (as usual) but then he says something along the lines of: There was a time when America promised Iraqis to support their fight for freedom but we failed them, we cannot do that again. Again, something close to this.

And I could not help but think of the time when his father promised support for a Kurd uprising but then did not follow through on his promise and the Kurds were obliterated by Saddam. Right after the first Golf War.

Was this what he was referring to and if so how can he so openly criticize his father and his own party?

[NJCher]

125. that was a major topic for Mo Dowd

...Friday a.m. on The Today Show. She was interviewed by Katie Couric at the Democratic Convention. Maureen talked at length about how strange it is that he not only disagrees with what his father thought re Saddam removal but that he makes those scary claims about taking things up with "another father."

It was clear that Katie thought it pretty strange, too. At any rate, it was very good that this was presented to the American public as nutty on the part of the idiot in chief.
